NGN Forum & IMS Forum Expands Its Plugfest SeriesBy Michael Khalilian
The NGN IMS Forum, the only industry association dedicated to interoperability and certification of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and Next Generation Networks (NGN) applications and services, has announced that that its seventh IMS/NGN Plugfest will be held June 1-5, 2009 at the InterOperability Lab (UNH IOL) in Durham, NH. The NGN IMS Forum Plugfests are the industry’s only interoperability events covering NGN services over 3G, LTE, WiMAX, wireline and cable broadband. With this Plugfest we continue to expand further into service delivery, the control and management, including billing, protocols and standards according to NGN, LTE and IMS architecture and framework. Plugfest 7 is a continuation of the IMS Plugfest series that started two years ago. Forum membership and Plugfest participation is open to all companies.
